Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops

The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) is the assembly of bishops of the Catholic Church in Kenya. Its statutes were approved by the Holy See on December 7, 1976.

Structure
The plenary sessions of the KCCB are attended by all the diocesan bishops, emeritus and auxiliary bishops, the apostolic vicar, and the military chaplaincy. The Conference accomplishes its mission through the Catholic Secretariat which, through the Episcopal Commissions, coordinates and implements the decisions of the plenary assembly, providing the appropriate technical support. Currently, there are 15 committees reporting to the KCCB: liturgy, doctrine, lay apostolate, mission, justice and peace, ecumenism, interreligious dialogue, refugees, and others. There are also two sub-committees (canon law and apostolate of the nomads).

Regional bodies
The KCCB is a member of the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA) and Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM).
